Europe understands the threat of Russia

I'll be presenting my PhD research (so far) tomorrow and discussing Iceland's soft-cybersecurity w. focus on techno-capitalism and the decline of democracy. Harborhouse Reykjavík at 6:30pm

France creates a safe heaven for scientists.

This is serious for academics. A brain-dump from the USA is on its way. Canada's gain for sure - and hopefully a way for Europe to recoup some of the excellence that left because of WWII.

This speaks volumes: Yale professors, Timothy Snyder, a historian of totalitarianism and the author of "On Tyranny," and Jason Stanley, a philosopher and the author of "How Fascism Works", move to Canada. leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2025/03... munkschool.utoronto.ca/person/timot...

This is beyond scary - you can't even trust that the people in your zoom meeting are the people you know in real life.

Það sést sífellt betur að Trump vinnur fyrir Pútín og hefur gert lengi. Það væri óskandi að Ísland tæki eigin varnir alvarlega, við gætum lent í þeirri stöðu að hernaðaraðgerðir gegn Grænlandi séu reknar héðan frá bandarískum beis.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Symbolic exchange. Bald eagle attacks Canada goose and gets told to fuck off.

Great work here.

I cannot express the gravity of this order. This is the end of US supremacy in Cyberspace. The doors are wide-open for Russia now.

Trump speaks about his followers being stupid people.

Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

The insanity!

I can’t shake the feeling that something bad is looming. My feed on other platforms has been changing, I fear that techno-fascism is already here.

Multiple Telegram accounts belonging to French lawmakers were hacked in recent days, the French National Assembly said in an email seen by POLITICO.

I'm a little weary of BlueSky, its backers and content monitoring enforcement. Someone said on Twitter that they had been banned here for posting about their legitimate concerns over dubious vote counts in the US elections. I'll be keeping my ear to the ground.

@gilitrutt.bsky.social frábær kynning! Flottasti forfaðir minn fékk tvær línur um sig í Íslendingabók: Staðarhaldari á Bessastöðum, dó á kamrinum.

Happy to see BlueSky taking off! Extending my network of likeminded ppl and happy to find old friends active here @tharfagreinir.bsky.social - taking it as a positive sign that net veterans have secured their Bsky usernames just in case... cuz now seems to be that case :D @sporri.bsky.social

Dehumanization is a classic precursor to political violence. This is a known pit-stop on the way to tyranny.

Much Love to Amerigo Gazaway, Lauryn Hill & Nína Simone. And I’m feeling good
